Even as our very own review of Gigabyte's RTX 2080 Gaming OC is hot from the presses and still carries that sweet, new-graphics-card aura, the company is readying a new, white version of the card. This will certainly appeal for users that are increasingly tired of black and red color schemes - it basically has a (255, 255, 255) skin.

The graphics card should be an exact, bit-to-bit duplicate of the original Gaming OC and its technologies and ports, so if you want to know exactly what you're getting into, read on here. If you want an all-black design, though, stick with GALAX - Gigabyte are sticking with their black printed circuit boards.

Backplate should be white ... side (facing front should be white ... sisnce ya acn't see anything elkse in any tytpical installation who cares. Aesthetically, I love the anodized CPU coolers color matched to your case / system theme. And the fans with white frames and color blades really accentiate the look. All white ? ... yucky. As for LEDs, RGBs => ewwww .... when I use LEDs, its always white except perhaps in water blocks for a bit of highlight. Anything that flashed or breathes to draw attention toi itsel rather than "the build" is not welcome.
